Nice set Simon, 9's a cracker followed by 4 and 10. Seems the DA*300 works well, I'll have use mine more although the flexibilty of the sigma 100-300 is a tough one to beat.

Regards

George

I know what you mean about the 100-300, George, but its versatility is slightly compromised when it refuses to focus accurately! It received a substantial bang on the head at Silverstone a few weeks ago, which I suspect might have something to do with recent developments. I'm hoping to arrange a repair later this week and to have it back in action asap.

As for the Facebook shot, I'd no idea it had been posted but its presence is wholly legitimate. Thanks for the heads-up.

Great set Simon, you know you can't shoot fast moving, with a K5IIs don't you? ... Don't you?
Love the Airborne cart, great timing, and the diversity shot is like something out of "Whacky Races"!
Cheers Jules...

I've been desperately unlucky, Jules. Variously, my K200D, K20D, K-7 and assorted K-5s have all captured crisp motorsport shots. I can only assume I've picked up rogue copies each time.

Cracking shots as usual
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
